It is all but certain that Joe Biden will be the Democratic Party nominee for president in 2024. For the left this is not good news, but he is better than the likely alternative Donald Trump. Biden’s approval ratings are low and enthusiasm for him as a candidate is tepid. Much like in 2020 where Biden won less because of support for him than opposition to Trump, this may be the same scenario in 2024. In 2022, more of the Republican base voted than did the Democratic base. More voters voted for Republicans for Congress than for Democrats, worrying some that going into 2024 Biden enthusiasm among his base is not there. For Democratic Party strategists, the issue is getting the base out to vote for him as well as moving the critical swing votes in the five or so swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that will decide the electoral college outcome. .
